Individual Recording Licenses
Not every recording available through an external platform has the same license.
Some recordings may allow certain forms of reuse while others may include additional attribution requirements or restrictions.
Visitors should always check the original source page and applicable license before downloading, modifying, publishing, redistributing or commercially using a recording.
Attribution
Where attribution is required by an applicable license, WildVoices aims to provide appropriate source or contributor information.
Attribution may include the contributor's name, original platform, recording page and applicable license information.
Using Audio From WildVoices
The availability of a recording on WildVoices does not automatically grant permission to copy, redistribute, publish, sell or commercially use that recording.
